Managed transportation

Your transportation desk, run by us — answerable to your KPIs.

Some shippers want capacity. Others want a partner who owns the outcome. Our managed transportation programmes give you a dedicated control tower that procures rates, allocates volume across carriers, executes every booking and reports against your SLAs — neutral, auditable, and tuned quarterly.

Common questions.

Is this a 3PL or 4PL?

Operationally it's a 4PL: we manage carriers, 3PLs and brokers on your behalf, with the Cargoo platform as the system of record.
